Salvador was playing his best hockey in the playoffs, not the regular season.

As such I'm confused by your "not much left in the tank" comment. I'd pick Salvador first, probably also because he'd be the cheapest.

Suter is no way. Let somebody else overpay.

Salo is intriguing. But again: what is the market going to say he's worth? And that's really the moral of the story for all these guys and free agency in general. If there weren't increased prices, players wouldn't elect to try it out.

I'm hesitant. I like a lot of those names but not necessarily with the price tag that would go with them and ESPECIALLY if it's a long term deal.

And plus when we go to shootouts he can fake himself out as well as the goalie.

One of the most hilarious moments in Blues history.

I still wish we never traded him for Boyes.

Don't forget Justin Schultz. I really hope we make a play for him, although I don't see him picking St. Louis over all of the other teams offering him a deal. His contract is already basically set in stone as he would be a rookie, so there will not be a bidding war.

Considering how high the costs are jumping for these D-man.....he may be one of the more reasonable options and he's got that left handed shot they are looking for.

And it's a cannon. Regardless of the baggage and his up's and down's the last few years, he's a guy that's scored 20 goals multiple times. If he could give the Blues even half of that, I'd take it.

I agree I think he would be a good here for a few years(3) I also would like us to make a bid for Penner he wont be dirt cheap(ask for 5 but with his wrist injury say he goes for 4.5), but I think they would work better than Arnott and Colaiacovo.

I was just thinking the other day...Paul Kariya's contact with the Blues was 3 year, 6 mil per. PAUL KARIYA. One of the best players of his generation but he didn't live up to the deal. And Wideman gets a shade under that. Gimmeabreak.

Speaking of Wide, man! Boyes to the Islanders. Yes, I know I just praised that signing in the other thread, but the opportunity for the lame joke arose and I took advantage of it.
